Bated aahedan, the 1st Larch 1921,
Sir,
I have the honour to report that as a result of cross
examination of Ghulam Haider son of Mohammed Azim holder of
British Passport No. 1016 issued to him oy His Britannic
Majesty’s Consul, Baghdad, on 1st May 1950 ana hearing the
following observation on page 5 thereof
tt This passport is valid for twelve months from the date
of issue and should not he renewed without reference to
the G-ovarnraent of India. The hearer had previously
travelled on pilgrim pass No. 172 dated 10th ^ril
1950 issued by the Magistrate of Karachi, which is
cancelled being insufficient for travelling to Persia."
it was found that the holder was not a bona fide pilgrim
but a carpet trader having bean domiciled in Meshed for the
last 2C years.
Crhulam Haider had on 19th February last proceeded to
India on a valid British Passport No. 14 of 25th February
1922 issued by His Britannic Majesty*s Consul General,
Hashed. He lost this on the train journey to Karachi
somewhere near Hyderabad Bind.
In Karachi he was able to get a pilgrim Pass for
visiting Kerbela and Meshed. On arrival at Baghdad the
abovernontioned passport was issued to him in lieu of the
Pilgrim Pass.
It seems that he refrained from informing the Indian
authorities of the loss of his passport,neither does it
appear that any report was made by him to His Majasty # s
Consul General, Meshed.
